Honey and Mumford Learning Styles

JJames4y ago
Hi tutor. Can you help me in differentiating between Activitist and Pragmatist? Activities learn from activities. Pragonist learn from practical life examples and doing practicals. So aren't these two same? I am unable to figure difference.

Activists prefer to learn by doing, not reading. They like discovering for themselves. So if you were an activist assembling flat-pack furniture you might start trying to piece it together without reading the instructions. To motivate an activist, allow experimentation. A pragmatist is motivated by seeing what the benefits the new skill will bring. You would motivate a pragmatist by saying something like "If you learn the Excel statistical functions you will be able to easily analyse the data and therefore impress your boss".
